Strictly Come Dancing - S7 - Week 1 - Show 1 - Joe Calzaghe - Tango

[trainlinezoo]

The most interesting segment I've ever seen - even the stateside version isn't as entertaining as Joe Calzoney. Hats off to the man - I couldn't do half that good. Now that 's all done - Joe It's time too make a come back to boxing. Crank up the fury on that guy Bute in Canada and then get after Mr. Andre Ward in Vegas for eternal greatness and lots of Pounds! Then beat Adamek in England to retire a wealthy legend. And what if in the meantime Adamek beats both Ukranian giants and Haye too? JOE!

[thechelseaplumber]

I thought he would be good....he was all rhythm in the ring... an .improvised jazzy rhythm fighter that baffled all who stood in front of him.....he didnt look good as a boxer but he really was a GREAT boxer.....couldnt transcribe his rhythm from boxing to dancing cos he cant follow music.

[warrkrymez]

Calzaghe's agent: "You're doing SCD on Sat night"

Calzaghe: "Yeah? Is there gonna be coke?"

[Dryfanny]

This may be terrible but his horizontal tango wont be.LOL.

[tliang1000isback]

i can't watch this. this is terrible.

[Electroshogun]

He looked so gormless and lifeless while dancing. It definitely looked like a tango from the morgue, in line with Craig's 'rigor mortis' comment.

[ieuanandelli]

doctorsteelhammer if joe was a shit fighter why did he win every singe fight id lv to see u get in the ring with him hed lay u straight out

[FreshTiDef]

What a JOKE? He can come over here & dance but won't come here to fight top fighters while they are in their PRIME!

JOE "THE HO" CALSUCKY SUCKS!

[DoctorSteelhammer]

calzaghe was strictly a shit fighter

[Gayboxingfan]

Put your Calzaghe cock in my ass and dance, Joe!!!

[flyinghotwing]

talk about absolutely no rhythm!!!

[primeraprim]

joe slappy caz had no rtythm in the ring or outside it,,he was such a boring slapping machine !!! slap slap slap,,no power he never tko any one in his life !! they didnt want him in the usa coz he could not sell ppv coz he was a bore !!!

[flyinghotwing]

i disagree, i saw some times when he planted himself and landed big shots, and he did have an exciting style even tho he slapped alot he did it in such a way that i give him props for being unique in his style and successful...got to give him credit instead of hating...we can what if anyone all the time but he did what he did and should be given credit, as for the dancing he has no clue but so what

[thechelseaplumber]

@primeraprim  hey brainbox...in his first 21 pro fights he won 20 by K.O. and 1 on points. of the 20 K.O. victories 10 were in the first round!! hows that for a calzaghe slap into the chops!! you are an ignoramus.

[flyinghotwing]

that chick has a nice ass tho both cant dance w a hill a beans

[kakonis]

This is a little bit like the Calzaghe-Hopkins fight, with a little bit less holding.

[SAMJE123456]

I dont blame him for the bad dancing with that girl infront of you dancing would be second best.

[SFBoxers]

he dances better in the ring

[rannntanplan13]

llol that s not dancing. i can do that myself after one day of practice

[primeraprim]

carnt dance in the ring and carnt dance outside it !!!! total fraud who i have no respect for !!! mr slappy caz the old man fighter ,,28 bums,8 bus drivers ,6old men his legacy !! old eubanks,old jones,old hopkins,lost to reid and bika robberys,, just a cash cow for warren "" slap slap slap, good riddance joe caz !!! you fraud !!

[flyinghotwing]

what do you think bout pavlik the ghost?

[primeraprim]

well he ducked williams twice now ??? but the williams vs martinaz fight was damm bloody awesome !! i thought martinaz won but it was close !!! any one of them would have killed joe check the fight out !!

[artofpoetry]

I love Calzaghe -- he's a great champion -- but crap that is some awkward dancing!

[xcalumt91x]

im from the uk and i agree masivily overated boxer who took of advantage of the average person not knowing fuck all about the sport and just wanted to see a punch out lmao, dodged the best until they were oaps then wouldnt give chad dawson a shot, so he vacated his belts lol jus like the supper middleweight belt he vacated for froch 2 pick up lol yes best boxer everrrrrz if your ray charles

[lolspud]

Some hilarious comments on this video. Kudos.

"doing it underwater", fuck I laughed.

[LLAdam2k8]

This makes me cringe lmao :) So funny

[mullet1345]

im sure he is a nice man yet personally very over rated boxer just got lucky when poor divsion.

Dancer he looked sharpe had the moves like shergar ,

The lady danced well tough but this boxer seems a little dopey dinner , its good though they gave this punchy fighter a chance well done joe.

[UnwashedAnus]

Punchy fighter? He never got stopped or took a beating cos he was too good so hes hardly punchy now is he?

[Dernage]

How people rate Calzaghe depends on which side of the Atlantic you're on. In the UK some think he's the best British boxer of all time (no way is he better than Lewis) but in America you'll find that most people think he was a coward that didn't fight the best when they were in their prime. They often take it too far and he's often underrated over there. So he's probably not judged fairly anywhere.

[Dernage]

It's also odd that you call him punchy, most call him slappy :P

[mazzadude]

lol you know nothing

[shakilanjum]

WOT a WANKER!!!

[southgower]

he looks like he's doing it underwater!

[DemonicGenocide]

pmsl awful fair play. legend in the ring tho

[2009ticktock]

GOD id lick him all over, all day. awful programme though; flat twee beebeecee

[szaidi87]

ok his dancing was a bit rubbish to be honest. thats not what im interested in. Does anyone on here remember the music that was playing while it was showing his 'training' up to this point? if so i would love a track name & artist please. I'm sick of pointless google searches now.

[r4hul101]

LOL 1:23-1:26

Joe's wondering what he's going to have for dinner tonight. Wake up Joe !!

Cringeworthy dance !

[makpak]

Joe's never had any rhythm.

even when he was taking the piss out of Jones he looked stupid doing it.

[xlaura95x]

i think this is hard music to dance to and i think he did very well for him first attempt x

[CADAVERHUSK]

the music is like a creepy haunted house dream/nightmare

[Mikey2936]

hahahahahahaha!!

[rexana]

You'd think someone who gets punched in the face for a living wouldn't look so scared whilst dancing. xDD

Poor Joe.

The music didn't really help. It may be a traditional tango song, but it's so boring and monotonous and that bit that starts at about 38 seconds just sounds weird.

[intrepidnoodle17]

There is only one way this could be more embarrassing for Joe and that would be if he did it in a nappy, strictly woeful

[broxboy86]

good thing hes hot.

[BigGunsEre08]

The music does them no bloody favors its horrible LOL

I think Joe will get better has the weeks go on (:

[DazW1970]

Bless him! He looks like a poorly paid extra from 'Zombies Dawn of The Dead' who never really wanted the role anyway. The music gave me the creeps too. How can you dance a tango with great passion to what sounds like a toddler playing with a Rolf Harris xylophone? He just needs to let go and not be so self conscious. If I were Kristina I would get him enrolled in acting classes as happened with Matt Dawson I think it was. Unless he ups his game he'll be out.

[piffywafcwafc123]

i seen this guy in marks and sparks in newport on my sons 1st birthday lol ( 30/04/09 ) random fact haha.... moving on i think Its obvious why joe as decided to go on strictley come dancing,

its obvious he's trying to break into tv and become a sports personality like ally mccoast, frankie detorie and the likes,

whatever he does, he is human and he needs money like the rest of us, to be honest id rather make a tit of myself on national telly dancing like a dick for a quick buck

:-)

[JONNOG88]

I am writing this as a Calzaghe fan.

But

Why Joe Why!!!!!

You do realise you have sacrificed a great deal of your credibility in taking part part in this nauseating crapfest.

And he swore blind he would never do this.

Granted its not as cringworthy as Nigel Benn on I am Celebrity, or that Nauseating reality show which Chris Eubank did on itv a few back but still.

[ForYourEyesOnly2009]

this is worse than both of those. joe you fuckin melon

[chuzzwozzer]

Looks like he's got fucking rigormortis!! stiff as a board.

[beth09p]

oh joe is lovely he lives by me and is a down to earth guy, who give anything and everything a 100%. i was talking to them both on sundayy and they have been trying soo hard they just need support. good luck joee :)

[sherlika]

this guy is horrible!!! Poor lady that is dancing with him!!

[rich43434]

fuck meh joe has destroyed his rep in 1min.44secs what has he done! the bloke was a god in the boxing world and now his fans thinks what a fucking dime bar

[CADAVERHUSK]

der der der der der der!!! lol this cant be the right music

[monsterink1]

If you take the time to listen to the judges you will see that none of them know how to judge! after ever dance, they always say the same lines all the judges are shit! arlene was the worst a dirty old minger that they've replaced with a much better, fitter and younger judge!! I think you are all just jealous!

[oldskooldancemusic1]

cringe!

[TheTubeMouse]

Poor Joe. You could see he was really trying his best but with music like that it's not easy to be inspired to dance! Let's face it, most beginners would find the Tango a difficult dance to do in the first week. Keep trying Joe!

[merlin999999]

the great man may yet improve. the judges are stupidly harsh mun. give him a chance hes been boxing for 30 years its hard to change discipline overnight in front of 10 million people. it was stiff but no wonder with that much critical pressure. I hope he gets chance to express himself. tidy finish

[Lakey1975]

Fucking awful! What is he doing on here! Guy needs to get back into a boxing ring and leave the dancing well alone! Its just cringy! He even sniffs his dance partners hair in one bit! But I think they are shagging anyway??

[TheMillford]

Credibility Down The Pan In Less Than 95Seconds Flat!! There Must Be Other Ways Than Paying Off Court Costs And Legal Fees From The Frank Warren Case Then Resorting To This! Get Back In The Ring!! Theres Plenty Of Good Fights Still Out There.

[Grifithboxeo]

fuck me this music doesn't exactly help. however i heard latin is much more up joe's street. 46-0 how can you argue with that!!

[sid7868]

was it just me or did u find this embarassing to watch as a calzaghe fan aswell

[privatezib]

Well on the basis of that perfromance lets just pray that really was the Last Tango in Paris! It appears as if Kristina was drancing with a manaquin.

[CloudsBeyond]

HouseOld, Froch improve he is such a Bum, of course he can, will he I doubt it. His last fight he looked stiff and awful. his chance to impress American audiences and he failed miserably. He always has been and always will be in Calzaghe's shadow. Watch how Froch does in the Suoer 6, he won't make much impact nearly all in it could beat him easily.

[samuksam]

calzaghe is a pussy and a fraud of a boxer

[ezekielthemack]

This is the reason why white people should not be allowed near a dancefloor. The worst dancing performance I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing.

[paradorn7]

lol his face!!!! he looks like he is shitting himself. hahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!

[ukogmickey]

No way man, I never thought Joe would EVER do something like this. He is my Idol and honestly it just dont suit him at all. Look at his face man give it a break Joe. Come back to boxing and smash Carl Frochs face into the ropes. Like a guy above said, He got absolutely dominated but what won him the fight was not fluke but heart, The guy has a huge heart but No talent whatsoever. He had a bigger heart than the other guy. Joe would murder him all night long. He would do a Jeff Lacy on him.

[SUSANFOREVER1]

Hes been Tangoed

[SUSANFOREVER1]

Lurch meets Ginger Rogers

[mrslovesit]

Also, I will have you know us Romany Gypsies are very particular about who sits on our squeezebox!

[mrslovesit]

The music is called Creepy creepy, by Touchy Feely. It is also known as "a night out in Whitechapel".

[theaveragefamily]

Jack the Ripper used to listen to this music on his ipod, it got him in the mood.

[celticboxingfan]

the music sounds like somebody sat on a romany gypsie's "squeezebox" by mistake and it got caught in their arsepipe while the air conditioning was left on turbo !!!

[OurWondrousWorld]

I am a Romany and YOU CAN'T BLAME US FOR THIS MUSIC lol! Nothing to do with us. lol

[GeminiSpaceship]

I love this music. What is it called and by whom?

[OurWondrousWorld]

Burnin' up de dancefloor!

[ShloeXD]

isit just me or does he look like a robot D:

[lukedean999]

Thanks Joe.

I now know what a tree in a suit looks like.

Probably the worst first dance ever.

[celticboxingfan]

joe looks like CP30 on crack !

[OurWondrousWorld]

lol! lol!

[celticboxingfan]

hahahah brilliant...big pompous head on joe...conk stuck right up in the air and he looks like he cant loosen up his arse cheeks in case he lets go of a big dose of diahorrea. usually it comes form his mouth but this time he was at least doing us a favour and trying to keep it in! hahahaha! brilliant ! his lady dancer is a real sexy mofof though and maybe the other poster was right ! he is trying not to shove his boner into her while shes concentrating on dancing ! FIELD-DAY with this! :Dhaha

[retsevlyslegyn]

joe has been approached by a famous drinks advertiser to star in the next judderman themed advert, lol, big big fan of joe the boxer but fucking hell this was utterly funny as fuck and iam sure joe would agree, but i would make a complete twat of myself to get her that close lol :)

[OurWondrousWorld]

Errr Errr Errrrrrrrrrr!

[OurWondrousWorld]

Joe has an uncanny resemblence to Ann from Little Britain - and the spooky music perfectly compliments the look!

[mightyev]

This is the kind of music you hear in a horror film where a clown is up to no good in a fairground!

[localiser1]

that was so crap. calzaghe was stiff as a board ... joe loses by tko

[travelmanxx]

I heard a rumour that Kristina into those long

marathan intercourse session,,to much dancing

in the bedroom,,for joe!!!.,look like hes got a bad

back and he needs a good sleep,!!! to much

jigy jigy in the horizontal position,,look like a

win win position to me,,!!!!

[kris2914]

the music is terrible!!! such a bad choice for the first dance. its like a bad eerie romanian folk song!

[ibbiwho]

he's got a nice bum though lol

[ibbiwho]

With thismusic and dancing it'slike something from TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED.

[SAMJE123456]

This girl is hot .But why does she end up with some bad dancers !! I watch the show for her i hope she wins ,But alas not this time.

[chubzye13]

kristina always gets a shit partner

[r4hul101]

The New John Sergeant !!

[GYOUY]

hahahahahahaha well said hahahaha the new santa claus!

[AsterixInstincts]

The music is so depressing. :-/

[CloudsBeyond]

Joe was favourite to win BEFORE show started but not anymore, he can't dance to save his life absolutely terrible. He danced like he desparately needed to rush off and do a monster dump right after. The light footed boxer then suddenly on dance floor like he has lead boots on & needing to offload a monster dump.

[02bash]

joe was trying his hardest not to get a boner, its so hard for the male dancers as i am sure the little man wants to solute when the female dancers wear tight dresses like that.

[hollysmith1]

that was soooooooooo boring and the music didnt help

[V44444]

Creepy music and an even creepier expression. It was that bad it was good !

[Alexjhs]

C'mon Joe let go of yourself and dance ..you can do this. Settle those nerves down.You and Kristina have the right mix to do well in Strictly.Good Luck for Saturday -you have many supporters out there.

[dudemungus]

awesome joe!takes balls to do something like that well out of your comfort zone,your definately my favourite!

[msraw2dacore]

lol!! lmao!! he's soo use to being stiff wiv miss cuba he jst can let loose!!!! lol!

[antsthlondon]

wish he was gay

[mrdojob]

LOL next time i see him driving through Blackwood i'm gonna do the john sergeant walk across the zebra crossing in front of him. I'll drag my mother.

[olliebounce]

stiff stiff stiff lol

[MisterB747]

It must be like dancing with a tailor shop dummy .... truly diabolical.  On the other hand, we know its really really hard to do, so bring on the next one Joe!!! Good luck.

[DoctorWhoCollector10]

this is a rubbbish tango

[HouseOldSkoolRaver]

poor Joe he will he even more nervous next time! I think he has spent to much time in the sack with his new lady rather then on the dance floor. Carl Froch is going to take the piss out of him so much.

[XclusivetraxXx]

who gives a shit carl froch is talented but he doesn't have legendary status or ever will compares to calzaghe

calzaghe is a homegrown working class hero despite what anyone says

[HouseOldSkoolRaver]

If he wins the tournament he will of done more then Calzaghe mate! The winner of the tournament should fight Calzaghe that would be HUGE and so would the money.

[RibenaSpring]

yeah agree, more in the space of 2-3 years than Cal did in 12

[LeonWgner]

Froch's been professional for 7 years, the only person he's beat is a taylor, after he'd already been knocked out twice by Pavlik.

[RibenaSpring]

i think you will find if Froch wins the super 6 he will have beat better boxers than cal so read the comment properly mr United Kingdom is a country lol

[CloudsBeyond]

Carl Froch is a complete BUM, you talk like he is good. In the 'Super Six' he wil not win it or make much impact nearly al in it could beat Froch easily. Froch is so stiff and amateurish, just view his last fight he was getting dominated and pulled off fluke win at end. For years he called out Calzaghe as laughable as BUM#2 Junior Witter constantly calling out Ricky Hatton.

[HouseOldSkoolRaver]

bollocks! Froch can improve you know! His fight against Pascal was good he stands and bangs thats his style. He is powerfull , game and in his prime i hop he wins it. FROCH IS GOOD

[muizzmc]

pascal was not exactly a huge hitter tbh...u seen how he got dropped by one punch by taylor shows the diiference

[pipsondemand]

who said boxings all about the timing ?
